    Time to just start ghosting any cowardly fucker with an internet history that pertains to a sympathy with islamic fundamentalism.

    This has gone beyond ridiculous.

    2nd incident confirmed at Borough Market. This is sounding very serious.

    You'd have to wonder how the BBC had a reporter on the bridge before it happen.

    There's a whole host of reasons that Sunni Islamic terrorism has increased significantly since the 1990s but the biggest factor by far is entirely to do with the Wahabism funded and promoted across the entire globe by Saudi Arabia since the late 1970s. Until the House of Saud is overthrown nothing will get better.

    In the interim we should be treating Saudi like North Korea or apartheid South Africa.

    It's not the sole solution, but it's something we - for economic reasons at least - can't yet consider.

    What a pity that such a vile and toxic regime, a regime responsible for the metastasization of Wahhabism, is the same regime that sits on such a vast and influential source of the world's oil.

    They didn't have a reporter on the scene. It was a report from a BBC reporter who just happened to be in the area.

    Would it be possible to keep the topic for breaking news/updates. I fully understand that I have absolutely no right to ask this, but it would be appreciated.

    There are dozens of threads on Islamic terrorism.

    I will be told off I know this. But anyway...

    Britain is becoming some mess at the moment. Time for strong leadership. Unfortunately they have theresa may and are crippled by political correctness.
    Much like ourselves.

    They know who most of these gimps are, they should go round them up.
    Yeah the British have a great track record with internment, it's never gone badly for them in the past and I'm sure it won't have the opposite effect to the one intended this time either.

    Well either she was just out enjoying her Saturday night and happened to be walking across the bridge or she was filming a report for something. Hardly worth wondering about really.

    BBC reporting that one of their staff was in a restaurant in Borough Market and heard gunshots. That report is unconfirmed at the moment.

    And being censorious on the nature of today's attack helps further the cause of...?

    There was an incident on the London Bridge where a car was seen traveling at a high rate of speed and running over people. There are conflicting reports of how many suspects there are but anywhere from 1-3 suspects got out of the van and started stabbing people. Multiple people are injured. No known number is official. Casualties are also reported but not confirmed.
    There are also reports from nearby stores/cafes of suspects entering them and stabbing/shooting people. Still unconfirmed. We are working to confirm all reports. Stay with us. Please keep those affected in your thoughts. Stay safe.

    Muslims have been living in Britain for decades. Bit of a coincidence these attacks are only happening after the increase in British intervention/wars in the middle east.

    Muslims also lived in former Yogoslavia for decades.
    Same in Phillipines,Thailand,Sweden,France,Germany.

    It's looking like the terrorists made their way over to Borough Market which is only a few streets away from London bridge, rather than a separate attack.

    Second incident at Burrough Market, with videos of armed police running into pubs telling people to get down.

    Awful news. I know a lot of Boardies are living in London and a lot of us, myself included, have people we care about there. I hope all our loved ones are safe.

    The reporter live on the BBC at the moment looks very nervous.

    Tbh unless you line all the footpaths with bollards attacks like this cannot really be stopped. I fully expect that the perpetrators of this act will be known to the police and will probably be British citizens.

    Seems to have been firecrackers going off that people thought was a bomb and some were hurt in the ensuing stampede.

    Foreign policy dictates all. If we weren't bombing the f*ck out of them, they wouldn't feel the need to retaliate.

    Who is to blame for all the people ISIS murder in the middle east?
    Obviously not ISIS.
